Correct Answer � A
Explanation
|
|
Ans. A
- Patients who have stage I, II, and IIIA NSCLC typically have surgery to remove the tumor if the tumor is found to be resectable and the patient is able to tolerate surgery.
- Surgeons may remove a lobe or section of the lung containing the tumor.
- Currently, many surgeons utilize video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS), where a small incision is made in the chest and a thorascope is inserted.
- A lobe can be removed via the scope through this small incision so that a larger incision does not have to be made
